Love Takes a Piece of Me
Love takes a piece of me
Still so far out of my reach;
Empathy is never free.
All love takes a piece of me,
So take what you must, but never leave.
All of my heart belongs to love,
So are you the one I can give it to?
All the strings you pull on are ripping me apart!
So stick with me and become my glue.
Piece me back together,
When I have shattered into a thousand diamonds.
The only thing I ever kept from you,
Were the thoughts that I never mentioned.
Secrets and lies beneath a truth;
A pain inside that buries my heart too deep beneath the bone.
These are our times to find something new;
A piece of love you hide, I seek to find, so I can take it as my own.
Love takes every part of me.
All I have,
I give.
